A 3m wide shared bicycle and walkway will be constructed on one side of the road and a signal crossing will also be built to allow cyclists, pedestrians and horseback riders to cross safely.

The project is estimated to cost nearly £21.6m and the remaining £9.8m will be provided by the West Sussex Council, Coast to Capital Local Enterprise Partnership, and private developers.

South East Transport Chair Keith Glaziersaid: “The planned Lyminster Bypass will provide a vital connection between Littlehampton and the A27.

“This investment will help boost economic growth, support new housing and jobs, and will improve quality of life for local residents.

“A high-quality, reliable transport network is critical to our region’s economic recovery and future sustainable growth, so it’s good news that another of our top priority road schemes has received a major funding boost.”
